Nicholas Marriott suggested in: Message-ID: <20100218225106.gd17...@yelena.nicm.ath.cx> Archived-At: <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.terminal-emulators.tmux.user/350> to make tmux rotate through any multi-valued option like boolean options toggle. This is much like your idea. What I have in mind is something special for any selection and would only apply to copy-mode: a per-window (per-pane?) option in a special struct hanging off of "struct window"(?), roughly: struct selection_op { int (*fun)(struct screen_sel *)[5]; unsigned cur_selection_op; }; Then there would be five possible selection operators coded as functions and selected by repeated use of 'J' in copy-mode. There would be functions joining the lines of the selection by spaces, commas, line-feeds plus a function running an execlp(3) on a new per-window possibly named "selection-op", which should point to a user supplied program given the selection on stdin. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble to have selection_op.fun be a list or splay-tree. > Rather than rotating through option settings, though, it could just as > easily rotate through key bindings. I'd rather prefer real nested keymaps, where some key could be defined as opening an entire new key-space, such that eg. ABC would be defined as newkmap groups newkmap subgroups bind A readkey groups bind B readkey subgroups definekey groups Escape abort definekey subgroups C-g abort definekey subgroups C <some-command> This is ratpoison syntax, btw. For the existing keybindings tmux could have a top-level keymap, of course. clemens ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
